Summer is supposed to finish now.... hopefully cooling down lots.....
End of February is also a time I get spoilt......
Isn't this a fun panel? and it arrived with some labels, buttons and a note pad....
Both very special people to me and I love their thoughtful and beautifully made gifts.
There may have been cakes and flowers and dinner etc aswell....
Then of course lots of visits, calls and messages and I love hearing from special friends and family.
I worked on my Cuddle Hearts - I cut up a lot of my smaller pieces of flannel and sewed them up. These Cuddle Hearts are in sets of 3 (I made 25 sets) go to the Premmie baby units at the hospital. Mum keeps one on her and passes it to baby so he/she gets the smell of mum. Rather a sweet idea and I was pleased to find a use for some of that flannel.
I concentrated on this next Caswell block, lots of little pieces to needleturn. Marina had made a note in the pattern that she was leaving out some leaves in between the 2 birds at the top. I agreed they weren't needed so left them out too...
That's my week,
Righto, Gotto Go.... out today ... Hope you have a lovely weekend....xx

Happy birthday, beautiful Fiona! Such lovely gifts your friends made. The hearts are an awesome idea. I wonder if they do that here. Love, love, love the Caswell block. Your fabric choice is so cool. Love it! What a fun blanket these bits of yarn make. Enjoy! ;^)

You deserved to be spoilt. I have some hearts cut out....great idea! Love the birdie block and thanks Marina for the tip. I am just beginning no. 7 Love your block 8 xx
what lovely gifties.
That is one of my favourite Caswell blocks, so lovely seeing your progress so far. I must confess that I only did 25 blocks for mine. I eliminated some of them for different reasons.
I'm also a February child, dear Fiona. All the best to you. There were some great surprises. The hearts are beautiful, and above all the campaign is great.
By leaving out the leaves, the focus is on the birds in the nest... wonderful appliqués.
Have fun crocheting and a hug from me. Viola
I think it is safe to say you had a great birthday.
Caswell is looking lovely - and I agree about any extra leaves...Lovely idea to do the hearts...forever grateful I never faced that situation.
